💡
In a few words

We only collect what is strictly necessary so we can send you the newsletter you subscribed to, allow you to publish comments, and to manage your account: your email address, your display name, and the content, date, and time of your comments.

You can unsubscribe or ask us to delete everything anytime.

We never sell or rent your data.

We use no tracking cookies, just the technical ones needed to run the site, and a local setting to remember your language preference.

If you have any question, please send a message to:
contact@hello-self.fr.

That’s all. 😊

We take the protection of your personal data very seriously. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how and why it is used, and what rights you have.

1- Data controller

The data controller for all personal data collected on Hello Self is the author of the site:


Name: Alice

E-mail: contact@hello-self.fr

2- Data collected

When you create a Hello-Self member account and subscribe to the newsletter, we collect:

  • Your email address (required)
  • Your display name (optional, if provided)
  • Your profile picture (optional, if provided)
  • Your country (determined automatically)
  • The date your account was created
  • We may also record the referral source through which you discovered the website (for example, a social media platform or search engine)

When you use the comment feature (available to logged-in members only), we also collect:

  • The content of the comment you publish
  • The display name associated with your member account
  • The date and time of publication

This information is publicly visible on the website.

Your data is used solely to:

  • allow you to manage your account and your newsletter subscription (registration, updating your information, unsubscribing);
  • send you the free newsletter in the language(s) you have selected (French and/or English);
  • allow you to publish and manage your comments on the website.

The legal basis for this processing is your consent and the performance of the service you have requested.

4- Data recipients

Your data is hosted and processed by Ghost Foundation, the platform that powers both the website and the newsletter service:

Ghost Foundation

Non-profit organization

160 Robinson Road

#14-04 SBF Center

Singapore 068914

https://ghost.org/

support@ghost.org

You can view Ghost’s full Privacy Policy here : https://ghost.org/dpa/

Your data is never sold or rented to third parties.

5- Data retention

Data related to your account is retained for as long as your account remains active.

Comments you have published on the website are retained for as long as your account remains active or until they are deleted.

You may unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time by using the link provided at the bottom of each email or by accessing your account (via the button located at the top right of the website).

Unsubscribing from the newsletter does not automatically result in the deletion of your account. Account-related data will therefore be retained until you request its deletion.

You may request deletion of all your data at any time by e-mailing contact@hello-self.fr.

6- Security

We implement technical and organizational measures to protect your data (including HTTPS connections, secure passwords, and restricted access to the site’s administration area). The Ghost platform also applies its own security measures.

7- Your rights

In accordance with the GDPR, you have the right to:

  • access your data,
  • rectify inaccurate data,
  • request deletion of your data (“right to be forgotten”),
  • obtain portability of your data,
  • restrict or object to the processing of your data.

You may exercise these rights at any time by e-mailing contact@hello-self.fr.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the French data-protection authority CNIL (cnil.fr).

8- Cookies and local storage

This website only uses the technical cookies necessary for the Ghost platform to function.

It also uses the browser’s local storage (localStorage) to remember your language preferences (French / English). These data remain on your device and are never transmitted to any third party.

9- Analytics

This website uses the analytics tool integrated into the Ghost platform (based on Tinybird) to obtain anonymized statistics about website traffic (such as number of visits, pages viewed, locations and sources).

This tool is configured without cookies and does not allow the personal identification of visitors. The data collected is used solely for statistical purposes to understand overall website usage and improve its content.

10- Embedded content from other websites

Posts on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

11- Changes

This policy may be updated at any time to reflect legal or technical developments. The version displayed on this page is the one currently in force.
